Samus Aran has always been a cipher. We don't get much personality from her in the Metroid games—she's more suit than woman. We know she's capable, deadly, and strong, but the rest of it has been left to our imagination, and what we think of the character says more about us than it does about her. Do you remember the first time you saw the reflection of her eyes from within the visor in Metroid Prime? She's such a compelling figure because we don't know much about her, other than that her life has been plagued with the quest to destroy these parasites, and she's alone. We can make her face mean anything we'd like.


Metroid: Other M changes that. Now she speaks, and she shares her feelings with us. We're introduced to characters and relationships from her past and present; she reacts to them and they react to her. Her voice is interesting, and while she's still a killer, she also shows some vulnerability—she feels human, instead of like the isolated bounty hunter from games past. Some gamers are going to enjoy the look into what makes her tick, while others are going to be bitterly disappointed that so much of the mystique of the character has been stripped away. It's a bold move for such a well-defined property, and it's likely to split the fan base.
